For a long time, if any technology writer was asked what phone they would recommend to most users, the answer was simple. Even for the least Apple-inclined, ‘Get an iPhone’ was the only honest answer. It was not perfect, but it was the best on the market bar none.
Since then, devices such as the HTC Desire have provided worthy challengers. Today, the Samsung Galaxy S2 is the only phone that challenges the iPhone 4. That’s because it’s elegantly designed, has decent battery life and a superb interface, but it also offers features that are unavailable elsewhere.
So whether it is full HD video recording, the Super Amoled 4.3” screen or just general, remarkable speed, the S2 pretty much has everything. As an Android phone, its integration with Google Maps is superb, but it’s faster than any other on the market to find your location, for instance. It offers impressive new apps such as WiFi Direct, to connect to other devices. Buy a Samsung TV and the S2 is the remote control you wish you’d always had.
In terms of irritants, the lock-screen design looks cheap and the keyboard could be better. That’s small beer. If you want the smartest phone, today’s battle is iPhone 4 v Samsung S2.
